    Default Can't convert string to int

    For some reason javac can't compile Integer.parseInt(). I tried several programs that have parseInt in them and they don't work so I wrote up a simple little program to test whether the problem is parseInt or something else in the programs. Here's the test program I wrote:

    public class Test
    {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    int a = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
    System.out.println(a);

    }
    }

    Even with the program above, I still got a compiler error saying: "error: cannot find symbol a = Integer.parseInt();" with an arrow point to the . between Interger and parse. I've tried running the program with Double.parseDouble() and it works just fine. Any ideas as to why I'm getting this error?

    javac can't compile
    The code compiles OK for me.
    Do you have a class named Integer that you were working with?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I figured out what was wrong. You're right. The program was in a directory with a class called Integer and that was causing the problem.
